A Hospital Scene.

It is well-known, as well as peculiar
fact that American people must have eX-
element. Even foreigners. soon after COM
ing to this country, catch the infection, and
are just as eager to see anything exciting.
such as dog fight, sparring match, game
of base ball or anything else, as a native
born American. Nowhere is this more no.
ticeable than at a hospital. where men have
been confined for some time without an
opportunity of going out upon the streets
and watching their fellow men. At present
there are large number of convalescent
patients at ST. Barnabas hospital, both in
the city and private departments. They
are all exceedingly anxious to know what
is going on outside of the walls that enclose
them. and take every opportunity to rush
to the windows as wagon passes. A day
or so since the patrol wagon drove rapidly
up to the building with man who had
been seriously injured. AS the gong
sounded there was a scramble for the win.
dows and patients who were supposed to
be too feeble to raise themselves up in bed,
fought as eagerly for places as the strong
est Even the man who had both legs cut
off few days ago half raised up in bed
and begged that some one would carry him
to the window so that he might see what
was going on. 1t was peculiar sight, and
one that will not soon be forgotten.

The cutaway coat will still be fashionable,
but it is cut very low in order to allow a
great eXpanse OF shirt front. In most
cases only two buttons will be used instead
OF four, as at present. The swells will take
advantage of this fact by wearing the
gaudiest shirts imaginable. Barber pole
stripes red, white and blue and green and
black fronts will be much Worn.
But it is in vests that the dude will par
ticularly sport his loud proclivities. These
garments will be made of various cOlOrs
and will be dotted over with colored pic
lures OF dogs and horses, and in some cases
the swells will have the portraits of fair
ladies worked upon the vest front. Young
men of sporting tastes will have their vests
dotted with dice, horseShOes and whips.
The coat will be worn open so as to give
good view of the varied and wonderful gar
ment beneath. Tailors smile as they an
nounce that trousers will be worn wider
than ever before. They know that it will
require more cloth to make pair. and that
more cloth means more money to them.
Howling Swells will wear trousers of such
width that when they are cast off there will
be enough cloth left to make overcoats for
half the small boys in an orphan asylum
In localities where prohibition is enforced
trousers will contain two hip pockets
styled respectively the ''pint" and the
quart pockets.
Men with sloping shoulders will be
panied to learn that no padding will be put
in coats this year. The practice of building
up the shoulders by putting brick in each
will thus be done away with. There will
be little change in dress suits this season,
and no change at all in the pockets. Wait
ers and ushers will wear them at all hours,

A recent suggestion by Mayor Ames that

smoking being prohibited. Two of the
quartette were 'gilded youths of the city
the sons of wealthy fathers-and while
they had ostensible occupation in their
fathers employ, their principal vocation
was to dispose of their ample incomes.
One Of the others was young professional
man, and the fourth was a handsome young
Bohemian, who lives well, in mysterious
way, and runs this finely fitted up room for
the benefit of his friends. Handsome pic
lures of questionable morals adorned the
walls; an elaborate sideboard covered
nearly all one side of the room. and the
only other conspicuous furniture was the
inviting fautueilS and divanS scattered
about in tempting profusiOn. On an
inlaid table of curious and attractive design
was the paraphernalia of hitting the pipe"
the shell of gummy opium, the ornate
spirit-lamp. the pipe itself and the stiletto-
like needle of steel. Six times. as the night
waned. the paraphernalia had been brought
into requisition, and conversation had
dropped and languished until at last the
only interchange was slow gesture, suf-

renew the inhalation. Before the morning

On every warm day in the year paSserS-

on the street corners, apparently very busily
| engaged in the work of doing nothing and
trying to kill time. The same men are seen
there day after day, and the faces soon be-
come as familiar as the buildings which one
passes on his way to and from his daily
| work If the day is chilly the crowds hold
down the sunny side of the street, and if
| it rains they crowd into the adjacent hall
ways, appearing as happy and unconcerned
as though they owned the city and had not
care in the world. Some of these men,
and they are nearly all young men. are well
or at least respectfully dressed, and it is the
exception when one looks anything like a
homeless vagabond. just who these men

as very much pleased with the sue.
cess of the meetings, saying that IL fal
exceeded his expectations. He has
been attending Camp Meetings all his
life, and he says that he never yet at
tended one that was SO satisfactory in
all respects as this one. 1t was al
ways well attended, sometimes the
grounds were crowded, and yet there
was the most perfect order and de-
corum. The people behaved them
selves, as Kansas people always do,
just naturally. because they are in the
habit of it. II the grounds can be Sc
cured, another meeting will be held
at about the same time next year, as
nearly all of those who camped on the
grounds this year, and great many
who did not, expressed their wish
that it might be repeated. Parties
were here last week from beyond Cha
mute, and others from ..near Colony,
who said they would be OH hand with
tents next year. The prospect is GER
tainly very encouraging and it would
be..well if the ground could be secured
soon so that next years meeting could
be definitely announced. We cannot
close this brief notice without word of
cOngratulation to Rev. Johnson. While
he was cordially supported by his con-
gregat ton and assisted by others also,
yet the burden of the work necessarily
fell upon his shoulders, and the success
of the meeting was largely due to his
untiring energy and enthusiasm.
